SwinefOrd's Romance.
From the Chicago Tribune.

from the Chicago Tribune.
A.P. Swineford, governor OF Alaska,
was at the Grand Pacific yesterday
with his bride. They have been on an
extended wedding tour, mingling bliss
with business. There is something
quite amusing about their honeymoon.
Last summer the governor got leave
of absence and came back to the states
with the intention of taking wife.
On reaching Marquette, his old home,
he found perplexing obstacle to his
marriage in the shape of his daughter,
who entered a vigorous protest against
the proposed wedding. Determined not
to marry without her consent the
grizzled lover set his wits to work to
win it. She proved far more obstinate
that the governors greasy subjects.
Time rolled on until the day arrived
that the governor was to leave for his
domain. Five hours before his train
was to start Miss Obstinacy wilted.
Overjoyed at his success, the COVER
nor hurried to the depot, chartered q
special train to take him to the home
of his intended, and in twenty minutes
after arriving he was a. married man.
The ceremony over he snatched a kiss
from his bride, and in g. few minutes
he was on his journey of 5 900 miles.
A few weeks ago he again returned to
civilization and his bride.

& Valuable Dollar,
From the Kansas City journal

CIOAn CAc AduStS lily JOuIUdl.
T. J. Turner, of this city, yesterday
succeeded in securing rare silver coin,
that is much sought after by numis-
matists. The coin in question is an
American silver dollar, issued in 18O4,
but for some reason or another, only
a few of them were put in circulation.
The coin is about the size of the "buz-
gard" silver dollars, and has on one
side of it profile of the Goddess of
Liberty, while on the other is what
numismatists call a "big eagle" In
